30 Jun Wonder
What a gem of a song from MaMuse about welcoming in the shadow with curiosity and wonder. I’m honored they invited me to arrange this song for Wholehearted Chorus and look forward to their book of community singing & choral arrangement scores, coming soon.

Lyrics
Choral refrain:
Ooh, I wonder
Ooh, I wonder
Ooh, I wonder what is to come out of this darkness
Refrain
Oooooh–
But today, today
I can see there’s still a flickering
Refrain
Refrain (soft)
Oooooh– (tenors x4, altos x3, soprano & baritones x2)
But today, today
I can see there’s more than a flickering
Refrain
Teaching Notes
This arrangement was crafted to feature MaMuse as soloists, with the chorus providing a backup warmth and energy. Sopranos and baritones have the same line, one octave apart (Karisha’s part), the altos sing Sorah’s part, and the tenors add a beautiful third harmony.
Key: A
Level of teaching speed/ difficulty (1 = very easy, 10 = very challenging)
I love this arrangement. Is it available to use in a Unitarian Universalist church service.
